An economic coercion is generally regarded as one of the acceptable legal mechanisms under modern international law. The measure originated in nations' unilateral measure which is common in traditional international law is different from that in traditional legal concept. Contrary to traditional means of settlement, using economic measure to counter other nations' behaviors demonstrates its necessity and rationality. A nation may take an appropriate measure freely under the doctrines of the sovereignty equality and independence, that is, national margin of appreciation doctrine. However economic measures do not necessarily mean to encroach on the rights of other countries and to have some adverse effects on other countries. Meanwhile, an unilateral discretion also shows the abuse of economic measure. Any countermeasure taken by the country shall be based under the principle of good faith. Thus, figuring out the equitable point has been the focus of recent discussion in international society.
